South Bend, Branch 132 Annual Family Christmas Party was held on December 14, in the William Penn Hall. This was one of the most successful Christmas parties, with approximately 200 children and parents. The Christmas program was opened by National Director, Frank J. Wukovits, Jr., who welcomed the children and their parents with greetings on behalf of the Home Office, the National Directors and Officers, also Branch 132 Officers and Directors. The program began with singing of Christmas carols led by Shirley Rolko and her group of seven choristers. All the children and parents joined in the singing. Professional Magician IN “Alexander the Great” and his granddaughter again entertained the children and their parents with very interesting magic feats and was very much enjoyed by everyone. After the entertainment and singing of the Christmas carols the Happy Santa Claus arrived in the person of Steve Pécsi. Santa Claus greeted and presented the children with candy-filled Christmas stockings, after which the children had the opportunity to pick a toy of their choice.
